Amber D'Or

Notes & Nuances

Amber D'Or kicks off with a citrus blast – bright orange and lemon, but with a slightly synthetic edge compared to Erba Pura's smoother opening. The bergamot is definitely there, adding a touch of sharpness. The heart brings in the promised peach and pear, but it's less photorealistic fruit and more of a candied, slightly artificial sweetness. Jasmine is listed, but I struggle to find it amidst the fruity overload. As it dries down, the vanilla and musk come forward, providing a soft, almost powdery base. It's a decent attempt at Erba Pura, maybe 84% similar. The original has a richer, more natural fruitiness, while this leans a little more synthetic.

Final Thoughts

It captures the essence of the fruity musk, even if it's not a perfect match. I'd recommend this to someone who wants a fun, playful, attention-grabbing scent for daytime wear. This is a great daily driver.

How Long Does it Last?

This thing projects! Seriously, two sprays is plenty. Expect a noticeable scent bubble for at least 3-4 hours, then it settles into a skin scent that lasts a good 8+ hours. It's beast mode for a clone, no doubt. Careful on application; it can be cloying if oversprayed.
